JEFF LOOMIS IS AT THE PERIPHERY

Well, well, Jeff Loomis, haven’t you been busy! First you recorded a guest solo for the band 7 Horns 7 Eyes, then you went ahead and announced the release info for a new Nevermore album, The Obsidian Conspiracy (which we’ve now heard and can safely tell you is totally fucking awesome), and now you’ve gone and recorded another guest solo for a young band… Periphery!

Yes, it’s true. In a MySpace blog post that pays homage to 30 Rock and is addressed to “Ladjies and Djentlemen,” Periphery reveal that “We are honored to have JEFF LOOMIS of NEVERMORE on our record, who performed a guest solo!!” As if you needed more reason to be stoked for Periphery’s self-titled debut, which comes out on 4/20.

We’re glad this happened. We like it when musicians whose work we admire all play in the same sandbox.

And I think Vince will tell you more about the epic excellence that is Nevermore’s The Obsidian Conspiracy soon.
